Приклад #1 Some examples of pow()
<?php
var_dump(pow(2, 8)); // int(256)
echo pow(-1, 20), PHP_EOL; // 1
echo pow(0, 0), PHP_EOL; // 1
echo pow(10, -1), PHP_EOL; // 0.1
echo pow(-1, 5.5), PHP_EOL; // NAN
?>
Приклад #2 Examples of pow() With GMP Extension Object
<?php
var_dump(pow(new GMP("3"), new GMP("2"))); // object(GMP)
?>Зауваження:
This function will convert all input to a number, even non-scalar values, which could lead to weird results.
Note that pow(0, 0) equals to 1 although mathematically this is undefined.
